Hello guys/ladys
I trieing to install debian woody in my laptop but
before configure the cd drive to boot the cd, it ask
me ENTER to boot. I do and something seems to be
loading but inmediatly screen become white. I can even
see nothing in the installation so I can not change
anything.
How can I resolve this problem?.
I had a simillar problem with my laptop, probably you have a SiS shipset
based laptop. The solution is:
when the "boot:" prompt apears try and use "linux video=vesa" instead of
just pressing enter.
Then after installing all the packages you want install the kernel
source and
compile it with your video card support. (is you have a SiS, check this
site:

I hope it helps.
Thank you everybody
